Vance travels to Islamabad for fourth round of Iran nuclear talks

Vice President JD Vance traveled to Islamabad, Pakistan on April 26, 2026, for the fourth round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in a new venue offered by Pakistan's government. Earlier rounds had been held in Muscat, Oman; the shift to Islamabad reflected Pakistan's interest in positioning itself as a regional diplomatic intermediary. The session was followed on April 27 by a joint press conference at which Vance described progress on inspection protocols but left enrichment limits unresolved.
